Salesman of the
Quarter
Honor held little allure for Darrell: time away from the road he could ill afford at the end of the month. But corporate called and he knew he had to go downtown. Not at first knowing what to make of the certificate embossed, marking dates of distinction, he was sure the credential must be concealed from fish leery of artful baiters. Dreaming of a hiding place he worked on something new for tomorrow, a hook inside his head that never came. After the party characters danced on the award. Something clicked as he popped the paper from its golden frame created scraps. Clasping quarter out of sight on cold calls, he thought about what it said what he was worth. |
